Rear passenger side rubber window trim

I just picked up my 5dr Pure.......Loving it so far
just have few concern

1. at low RPM...the exhaust note was quite loud, espciallly when I tried to slow down and RPM went down to 2000 to 1000...sometime so loud that cause drum in my ear

2. Rear passenger side rubber window trim did not finish up and left a gap....is it normal? I've checked few other evoque on the road and they seem to have the same finish. The driver side is all closed up..but not the passenger side. I feel that the rubber will come off anytime soon.

RE: Rear passenger side rubber window trim

1/... Should be all very quiet inside if your windows are up, and certainly NO exhaust noise either.

2/...This is certainly NOT normal finish. It should be perfectly in line and closed up like mine is.

It doesnt matter if they do. It is not right and needs fixing
Its about how you feel not them.

RE: Rear passenger side rubber window trim

Your car needs sorting. You have which engine up there? My Si4 is not loud at all. My trim is as perfect as it can get. Take it back. Give them your phone number to call when it's sorted. While you're driving their free loaner. That's how it's handled down here. Also, your dealer should take it to a trusted trim shop for the window work.

Re: rubber trim, There maybe a small gap (<1mm) between the 2 in cold weather for expansion in hotter times, but it should line up horizontally, since you're going back for the exhaust noise, might as well mention it.

If the other side is "good" to your eye, then this side should be the same. And it looks a bit odd, as PhilSkill points out, why would it be off horizontally? No work done to the area was there?

Went to the dealer today and found out evoque that came from the same shipment they all happened to have the same finish. But they said they will adjust for me
